Than some one finds out that they were fairy tales after all because he discovered other facts that proved otherwise?

No. Individuals often exhibit no end of faith in all sorts of things. This is a state of mind only, with no formal role in the scientific method. Faith implies conviction in the truth of a proposition, more than taking it as "just" a theory would entail. Why I put "just" in quotes is because it implies opportunity to graduate into something more. There is not. Theories are studied only insofar as they prove effective in organizing observations into a coherent framework (a mathematical one in the case of physics), and in making successful predictions of future ones. To demand more means leaving science behind and taking up philosophy and religion. Not that those fields lead nowhere, they're just not science.
